Chapter 265 (1/2)

”He's quite brave.”

Lin Fan really didn't think that the Heavenly Corpse Old Demon would dare to come to the Greatest Martial Sect to trouble him personally.

He didn't even have to think about it. He knew the opponent's purpose; it wasn't for the elixir remnant leaf.

After going out to rob him, he could still praise the Heavenly Corpse Old Demon for being determined.

The Heavenly Corpse Old Demon said that if he wanted to hunt Lin Fan down, he would hunt him down to the end.

However, why did he come to the Greatest Martial Sect now?

What else can he do to Lin Fan at the Greatest Martial Sect?

It didn't take much thinking to know that this was never going to happen.

Soon, he knew why the Heavenly Corpse Old Demon dared to come. It wasn't his real body that had come, but one of his separate bodies.

The Heavenly Corpse Old Demon's techniques were bizarre. He used a dao artifact as a vessel, merged it into his soul, and condensed it into a separate body.

”I wonder why Fellow Cultivator Heavenly Corpse came? Please bear with me.” The sect master cupped his fist and said politely. He remained polite even when the other side was a demon.

When they normally met, they wouldn't have the idea of getting rid of demons and defending the immortal.

After all, the other was also powerful, so it was necessary to respect each other.

The Heavenly Corpse Old Demon's original body was heavily wounded and was healing in the coffin.

The two pieces of the remnant leaves of the elixir were still outside.

For him, when the other treasures were away, the three remnant leaves on his body were of no use; they could only be watched.

The Heavenly Corpse Old Demon was expressionless as he gazed at Lin Fan.

The purpose of his visit was because of Lin Fan.

Lin Fan had a smile on his face; it was as bright as a flower. He didn't even have the slightest self-awareness and pretended not to know that the purpose of the Heavenly Corpse Old Demon trip was for him.

”Senior Heavenly Corpse, I've heard a lot about you. However, why is senior staring at me? Could it be that there's something wrong with my face?” Lin Fan was confused.

He was plainly playing stupid.

The Heavenly Corpse Old Demon ignored Lin Fan and said, ”Sect master, I came with no other meaning, so I'll say it straight away. Some time ago, I spent a huge amount of money in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion to obtain an elixir, but then I was intercepted and robbed. The two remnant leaves were strayed, and one remnant leaf was on his body.”

”I only want the remnant leaf back this time, nothing more. If you have any requests, then it's fine. As long as it's not too excessive, I can agree to it.”

According to his original idea, it was simple. There was no demand whatsoever. It was to hunt down and kill Lin Fan to take back the remnant leaf.

However, it was a little too long to wait. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.

If the remnant leaf were lost, then the elixir in his hand would be as useless as trash.

What use would it be? Hence, he went so far as to send a separate body to discuss it with the Greatest Martial Sect.

As for why he didn't dare to come in the real body.

He was afraid.

He was afraid that if he couldn't return. If he were being suppressed on the spot by the Greatest Martial Sect's masters, wouldn't he simply be a treasure?

The sect master pondered for a moment and said, ”Fellow Cultivator Heavenly Corpse, you still need to talk to him about this matter. The remnant leaf is on his body. Although I am the sect master, my disciple is the one who obtained it, so I have no right to ask.”

”I ask Fellow Cultivator Heavenly Corpse to understand.”

”Lin Fan, Fellow Cultivator Heavenly Corpse, came here because he intends to discuss this matter with you. If you want anything, just tell him, it's best if you can negotiate. It will also avoid any conflicts between you.”

The sect master's idea was also to let Lin Fan hand over the remnant leaf to the Heavenly Corpse Old Demon so that he could gain benefit from the elixir.

The complete elixir was indeed worth a fortune.

However, the value of a broken elixir was greatly diminished. Even if it still had a miraculous use, it wasn't wise after all to form a grudge against a powerful person over it.

”Yes, sect master.” Lin Fan responded. He then looked at the Heavenly Corpse Old Demon and said, ”Senior, I can understand your feelings. It's as if I once had a set of cards with all kinds of special cards in them, but one day when my neighbor's child damaged one, I felt like the sky was falling, and I felt imperfect and incomplete.”

”So, I can understand how you feel.”

His expression was spot on as he said these words.

The Heavenly Corpse Old Demon was much calmer. It seemed that this trip might be rewarding.

But soon, Lin Fan's next words caused the Heavenly Corpse Old Demon to almost explode in place.

”But… Senior, this matter and what I said about damaging the card belong to two different things. Everyone has a chance in the elixir competition. If I can get a remnant leaf, that's my skill. I went through a lot of hardships to get it. How can I give it back to you? ”

”However, a remnant leaf is a remnant leaf after all. There is indeed no heavenly use for putting it on me.”

”It's not impossible to return it to Senior, but I also have a request. I have quite a few things missing for my cultivation. As long as senior can give a set of Top-Grade Dao Artifact Sword Formation, a mouthful of Top-Grade Dao Sword, and a hundred Eighth-Grade or Ninth-Grade Elixir that can increase qi, I will return it to Senior.”

”That's not too much to ask.”

When the sect master heard Lin Fan's words, he turned his head numbly and looked at Lin Fan. He was dumbfounded, ‘What an excellent boy, even the lion wasn't as enlightened as you are.'

The value of what Lin Fan just said, he was afraid that they had all overtaken the value of the auction of this elixir.

Top-Grade Dao Swords wasn't rare; a True Stage cultivator could indeed have them.

However, a set of Top-Grade Dao Artifact Sword Formation was not simple. A whole set of Spiritual Swords included within it.

This was not simple; a few thousand of them were worth a lot, not everyone could have them.

A few great elixirs that could increase qi might not be a problem—however, a hundred of them at once.

Why didn't you just go and grab them?

If you didn't want to give them, just say so. Why annoy people?
